About French Lotto

Info

Key Facts

Odds

Bonus Draw

France’s 5/49 lottery possesses many attractive characteristics that make it one of Europe’s most popular games. And with a bonus number enhancing each Prize Category and one of the best overall odds available, you can easily see why.

Why Play?

The French Lotto boasts prize categories for as low as matching only two main numbers or even just the bonus number. And with astounding overall odds of 1/6 and 144 total chances at a win, your luck is très bien! The same person once even won the jackpot twice, first in 1996 for €2.8 million and again in 2011 for €3 million.

And France has a great sense of humour when it comes to superstition: every Friday the 13th, the Lotto turns into a special Super Lotto, complete with an extraordinary minimum jackpot of €13 million – an increase of almost 90% from the average jackpot size!

Format

With three draws a week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 22:30 CET, it’s easier than ever to scratch your lottery itch. Your syndicate plays five numbers from 1-49 and a bonus number from 1-10 and maybe you too could become the next big winner.

History

Dating back to 1539 when King Francis I introduced a lottery in his monarchy to replenish depleted state treasury funds, the French have had plenty of centuries to perfect the art of lottery. Since its contemporary establishment in 1976, the Lotto has created over 8,000 millionaires and annually awards over €4 billion on average in prizes.

Française des Jeux, the operator of Lotto and France’s other national lottery games, also has a celebrated history with charitable donations, particularly to athletics and sports. They are the title sponsor of a national bicycling team and they partner with the National Olympic Committee and French Sports to support French Olympic athletes.
